A federal trademark infringement lawsuit filed in Las Vegas accuses the movie company of improperly basing the new character in last year's "Toy Story 4" on Knievel, whose famous stunts included motorcycle jumps over the Caesars Palace fountain in Las Vegas and a row of buses at Wembley Stadium in London, and a rocket shot into Snake River Canyon in Idaho.
The Walt Disney Co. , in a statement from corporate spokesman Jeffrey R. Epstein, said it will defend itself vigorously against what it called Knievel's meritless claims. Photos in the court filing put Caboom side-by-side with Knievel, who became an American icon after his near-fatal 1967 Caesars Palace crash.
A propelled toy was marketed in conjunction with the movie, Knievel's attorneys note, and the Caboom character became part of a McDonald's fast-food "Happy Meal" promotion.

Who?
Do you think you should sue Disney? Yes I Canada.
Maybe Ross's or Heft's families should sue Knievel's family for stealing the flag design for his own profit.
Someone's broke.
Super-Dave Osborne's family should sue; the Disney character was 1) Canadian, 2) not great at stunts....
